Your most economical bet would be the 18-55WR which is not too expensive and is weather sealed. Folk often sell them on this forum if they become surplus to requirements.
Where can I get one of those please?

But don't worry about taking your K30 to the beach just because the lens isn't sealed. Just be sensible and keep waves / sand off it.

Did you mean 52mm UV filter (for the 18-55 lens)? If so, lots on ebay - any Hoya HMC should be OK.

Seems Strange that you buy a weatherproof camera but not the weather proof lens to go with it,

NB. These sleeves are NOT totally water proof or very robust (read reviews) and you need to check prices carefully, but they will help protect the lens/camera.
A WR or DA* lens would be the best solution, however.
